The history of the earth
The territory of the East Kazakhstan region has been inhabited since ancient times. According to him, in Altai, in the Zaisan River basin, on the Tarbagatai and Sauyr ranges there are traces of ancient mines, irrigation systems, fortifications and settlements. At the beginning of the 15th century, after the upper reaches of the Irtysh basin were occupied by the Oirats, this place became part of the Dzungarian Khanate. In 1758, after the destruction of the Dzungarian Khanate by Chinese troops, the Kalmyks moved to the other side of the Volga. The Kazakh tribes, who were displaced by the Kalmyks and mainly inhabited Saryarka, returned to their ancient settlements.
At the beginning of the 18th century, tsarist Russia built a network of Irtysh fortifications in the territory of the modern region, expelling the Kazakhs from their homeland in order to deepen the colonization of Kazakh lands. Gradually, a system of fortifications and outposts was built on this line, and later Cossack-Russian villages were built (Semipalatinsk in 1718, Ust-Kamenogorsk in 1720, Bukhtarma in 1763). Cossack-Russian settlements appeared on the right bank of the Irtysh and its branches.
Ten kilometers of fertile land on both sides of the Irtysh River ("Irtysh Ten-mile strip") were taken from the Kazakhs and transferred to the use of Russian Cossacks. That is, Kazakhs were forbidden to settle closer than 10 km from the Irtysh River. The Kazakhs lost their most fertile lands, lost the names of their ancestral settlements and were replaced by Russian names preserved on the pages of the map.
All tributaries, ravines and rivers flowing into the Irtysh are named in Russian. Villages gradually moved to the south and southwest. 1826 Kokpekty fortress at the foot of the Kalbinsky ridge, 1831 A village appeared on the right bank of the Ayagoz River, not far from the modern city of Ayagoz, the fortress of Sergiopol.
